We'll take the market's pulse and find some deals we love: we'll list some players we want to trade *for* and trade *away* and give you some ideas of what we'd like in return. (We know, we know: "NOT IN YOUR LEAGUE.") Also we'll review Thursday night's Commanders/Eagles game, plus check in on the biggest injury stories headed into...

While no rookie running back has instantly become a dominant force in the league, there *are* some intriguing first-year RBs, including the Bills' Ray Davis. Today we'll do a Film Futures Or Whatever It's Called breaking down the game tape Davis has produced so far! Plus we'll do some Flexual Healing to get those Week 11 lineups in shape, we'll preview the Thursday night Commanders/Eagles game, pick some teams for Week 11 in DraftKings and play a hilarious listener mixtape. Guest: DFS Expert...

What in the heck should we be doing with CeeDee Lamb? Are we benching all Bears WRs even after the offensive coordinator change in Chicago? Is James Cook someone you consider sitting in a horrible matchup against the Chiefs? How excited should you be to use Jaxon Smith-Njigba? We'll sift through the fantasy football ranks and come up with some topics that will hopefully help you craft your Week 11 lineups. Plus it's a listener snarkbag and a Yacht Possum softball update! Great show! Guest:...

Is Broncos rookie RB Audric Estime the must-add waiver player of 2024? Or should you continue to keep your FAAB powder dry?

In addition, we'll review the rest of the Week 10 game film to help you get those fantasy football lineups in the best shape possible! Guest: John Daigle from EstablishTheRun.com.   NOTES: Sponsor -...

Christian McCaffrey is back! And he played a *lot*! We'll review how CMC looked in the 49ers' close win over the Bucs as part of our Week 10 game film review. That will also include Bo Nix playing very well in a heartbreaking loss in Kansas City, the Lions mounting a huge comeback despite Jared Goff's five interceptions, Sam Darnold potentially crashing back down to Earth, and much more. Get smarter! Go beyond the box score and let us tell you what actually happened in the games! Guest:...

Heading into Week 10 seems like a good moment to step back and reassess the fantasy landscape. On today's show, we'll pick out seven high-variance, surprising players who may well decide fantasy football leagues this year: running backs and wide receivers whose November and December performances may prove pivotal! We'll also discuss the wild Thursday night game between the Bengals and Ravens, run down the Week 10 injury news as we currently understand it, and discuss the new contract for...

Statistically speaking, Cedric Tillman has been the WR1 for fantasy over the last three weeks. That's amazing, considering he was barely playing before that! Today, we'll break down Tillman's game film from the Browns' first three post-Amari-Cooper games and try to draw conclusions about what he might be longer term. We'll also do some Flexual Healing where we try and give you some flexible advice on your Week 10 fantasy football lineups, we'll preview the Thursday night Bengals/Ravens game,...

The NFL Trade Deadline has passed, and on today's show we'll make sense of the moves that were made on Tuesday and earlier! Plus we'll break down some key pressure points in the Week 10 ranks to hopefully sort out some start/sit decisions you may be facing as you assemble your lineups. Should you start using Christian McCaffrey and Nico Collins right away? Does Dak Prescott's injury give CeeDee Lamb owners pause? What should we be doing with Bears WRs? We'll discuss these topics and many...

It's NFL Trade Deadline Day, and nothing else important in the world is going on on November 5th! We'll discuss the trades we already know about including Khalil Herbert to the Bengals, we'll count down our favorite waiver wire additions for Week 10, plus we'll review the remainder of the Week 9 game film, including three overtime games, some head-clutchingly bad QB performances, the Chiefs remaining undefeated, and some running backs posting career days. Big show! Thanks for listening!...

Is the Dolphins offense all the way back? Did Caleb Williams look any better? Did Joe Flacco just put Anthony Richardson back in play? Did Jameis Winston revert back to his Wacky and Waving ways? We'll discuss these issues and dozens more talking about the Week 9 NFL game tape. We've watched eight of Sunday's games all the way through, and we'll go beyond the box score and discuss what they looked like on the field to help make your fantasy football team better! Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS...

The NFL and fantasy football never disappoint when it comes to defying expectations. That's because the sample sizes are small, the time in-between games is long, and the media blather is overpowering. So we're always surprised at the way each NFL season unfolds, and 2024 is no exception. Today we'll count down our biggest surprises in the NFL and fantasy football so far, plus we'll review what happened in the Texans/Jets game Thursday night, discuss the Week 9 injury news you need to know,...

We're back and Week 9 is upon us. On today's show, we'll preview a weird Thursday night game where a 6-2 team (Texans) is an underdog to a 2-6 team (Jets), by talking about what the heck is going on with Houston. We'll use that as a springboard to get into many more start/sit topics for Week 9, including whether to stick with J.K. Dobbins, C.J. Stroud, Bo Nix and many others. And we'll wrap things up with a fun look at the week in DFS with DraftKings! Guests: Jake Ciely of The Athletic and...

We're not gonna lie. The Week 9 waiver wire is...not amazing. But at this time of year, we believe in roster churn, and if you've got some players at the end of your fantasy football bench who aren't doing anything, give 'em the Thursday Boot and try someone else. We'll count down who we like best off Week 9 waivers, plus we'll review the rest of the Week 8 game film to give you an edge as we creep toward the fantasy playoffs! Guest: Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.   NOTES: Sponsor -...

Fantasy football is frustrating! You do everything right, and then your guy decides to get hurt! We'll discuss injuries to Stefon Diggs, Jordan Love, Brian Thomas, Christian Kirk and others, plus we'll go beyond the box score to break down film and tell you the truth behind the stats. Is Baker Mayfield foolproof? Did Jalen Hurts just ascend back to an elite level? Are Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon and Josh Jacobs unstoppable? We'll talk about tons of the Week 8 action on today's pod! Guest:...

We're already halfway through the fantasy football regular season, and we've got some hardware to hand out! We'll discuss our Most and Least Valuable Players so far, we'll make predictions about some guys in the second half of the season, we'll guess which coach is getting axed, and much more! Plus we'll discuss the injury names you need to know for Week 8, and review the film on Thursday night's Vikings/Rams tilt, which ended in the stupidest way possible! Guest: Cousin Josh.   NOTES: ...

Chuba Hubbard has been a revelation in Carolina. Of course, the Panthers aren't very good, Bryce Young will start for them this week, and Jonathon Brooks is on the way. For today's Film Futures Or Whatever It's Called, we're evaluating Chuba with an eye on his career and his dynasty stock, because he's an unrestricted free agent in 2025. We'll also do some Flexual Healing to answer some start/sit lineup decisions for Week 8, we'll preview the Vikings/Rams game Thursday night, we'll play an...

DeAndre Hopkins got traded to the Chiefs in the middle of today's show, so you'll get our real-time reaction to the news! We also broke down a bunch of interesting guys from our Week 8 fantasy football ranks to help you decide how to replace your injured studs. Who are the leading candidates to replace Brandon Aiyuk, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin? Should you be willing to start Tua Tagovailoa right away? How about Jonathan Taylor? Is Alvin Kamara someone you should be shying away from? We'll...

Disaster struck Chris Godwin in Tampa on Monday night, as he was lost for the season on a meaningless play at the end of a blowout. We'll talk about that and also Marvin Harrison's lack of usage from the two prime-time games, plus we'll focus on the remainder of the Week 7 game film to go beyond the box score and make your fantasy football team better. Then we'll begin our Week 8 process by discussing the adds and drops you can consider, with a special emphasis on wideouts considering the...

An awful lot of injuries highlighted the Week 7 NFL action, and we've got reactions! Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel went down. Jayden Daniels left and didn't return. DK Metcalf is injured. We'll give our opinions on the big names who might miss time, plus discuss how their teams looked without them on a big film-review show. Also Russell Wilson and Davante Adams joined their teams' attacks on Sunday night, we got a big Cartavious game in London, and Ken Walker and Breece Hall might just be...

During the summer, we talk a lot about not over-emphasizing offensive contexts when deciding whether or not to draft a player. But situations *do* matter! Of course they do! We're just not amazing at predicting them beforehand. Now that we're six games into the season, we have a much *better* sense of which offenses offer great environmental upside, and which don't, and we'll talk about that on today's pod. Also: a review of a sleepy Broncos/Saints game and a look at the injury names you need...

Week 7 looks like a tough one for figuring out the bottom of your fantasy team's starting lineup! Today we'll do our best to clear up some confusion on some of the running backs and wideouts you're making tough start/sit decisions on. Plus we've got a deep dive into the film of Jaguars rookie wideout Brian Thomas, we'll preview the weird-yet-mesmerizing Broncos/Saints Thursday night game, we'll play an incredible listener mixtape and pick our DFS teams. So much music today. Big fun! Guest:...

Amari Cooper joined Davante Adams as superstar receivers who got traded to better situations before Week 7, and we'll discuss what we think this means for the Bills, Jets, Browns and Raiders. (Plus Cam Akers winds up traded once again, back to the Vikings!) With this big news as our backdrop, we'll also dig into the Week 7 fantasy football ranks and discuss the start/sit decisions that will dominate your roster. For instance: there are a *lot* of injured running backs! We'll talk about the...

The Raiders dealt Davante Adams to the Jets...and we only found out about it halfway through recording today's podcast! But we'll discuss the ramifications! Eventually! Also, we'll review film of the Monday night Bills/Jets game and several other Week 6 contests we haven't gotten to yet, in order to give you some fantasy football direction going forward. And then we'll also sort through a crowded and varied waiver wire to find the players who can help you bust into the win column in Week 7!...

The Lions crushed the Cowboys and reasserted themselves as a top offensive environment in the NFL. The Falcons ran hog-wild over the Panthers are reminded us why their RBs are special. The Patriots and Broncos scuffled along with rookie QBs, while players like Gabe Davis, J.K. Dobbins, Cole Kmet and Terry McLaurin had great fantasy days. We'll try to make sense of the Week 6 game film by going beyond the box score and telling you what we thought of Sunday's action on film! Guest: Matt Harmon...
